why Woman Bushes.

When man in loneliness reposng
Awoke from that mysterious nap,
And saw. with wondrous ease reclining,
His gentle Eve in Eden's lap,
In eager haste to greet the fair,
And all his hearts warm wishes speak,
He crushed rose upon her cheek
That left its tint forever there.

A Sermon to Business Men.

soul! He heareth the adjuration and uttereth
nothing Proverbs xxx, a. In this book of
Proverbs, said Mr.. Haines, the character and
conduct of pen in business life is largely dwelt
upon. In answer to inquiry for the best
book for young business man to read New
York journal recently recommended as the best
single treatise the New Testament, and next to it
the book of Proverbs of Solomon. In it Solomon
payment OF wages, the laws of fair dealing be-
tween man and man, between master and
servant, between buyer and seller, and about
various articles. frauds and tricks in trade. The
book has singuiarly e.nse application to many
phases of business life la the nineteenth CEN
fury. In the many instances of men who, after
having borne good name for years, have turned
out to be en- bezzlers and gamblers, it is shown
that they, step by step and for long period,
carried on their dishonest operations by skillful
expedients and receptions. but the inevitable
result is always exposure and dis
grace. In the condemnation that follows
the churches often receive a share
of it from people who are incapable of distn-
gushing the false from the genuine. However
if the churches connive at such things. if they
do not bear decided testimony against them,
and IT they fail to teach that Christianity means
honesty, truthfulness, square dealing and 6del-
lty to trusts, then they are to be held RESPONSE
bic for these defalcations and crimes. There is
need in the churches of ethical revival
lnoro is call iof an enlightened ana purlned
conscience in the realm of trade life. Chris
tianity. while it means reverence, prayer and
praise to God includes justice, and truth, and
straight-up- and-down integrity toward men.
The great vice of commercial life is thievery
Gain by false pretenses without a fair equiv
alent for what belongs to another is thieyery.
There are hundred WAYS IN which men become
partners with thief. Some do it by lack of
fidelity to trusts COM mtted TO them. That man
becomes partner with thieves who refuses to
pay his debts when he can or evades or unjustly
delays paying them under iimsy pretexts. An
other question that needs to be held up to
Christian conscience is how far
man can prosecute business to
enormous extent on a limited
capital-how far ne can honestly borrow when
there is cut small prospect that he will be able
to pay He becomes partner with thieves
who lends his name and means to unriehteous
enterprises. II is hard for man to engage in
business life and keep clean hands and a good
conscience. In certain ways it ia easier preach
the gospel from the pulpit than it is to live it
behind the counter, amid the countless
devices, and shifts and frauds of trade Yet, it
can be done, andin the doing of it the noblest
Christians are developed; Some of the erandest
men OF the century have been developed IN these
schools of commercial life

point where the Trenton rock has been found

point Of gas output in the State, and Greensbure
the furthest south He thinks there is much to
encourage the hope that vast area north west
and south will yet prove productive of both gas
and oil. The existence of oil at Francisvile is
significant, and, taken in connection with the
fact that intermittent gas we'll has been active
at intervals since 1866 within three mies Of the

been known in the peighborhood it would m
almost certain that a rich field exists somewhere

1t Only Needs Work.

One frequently hears the remark
that certain kAds are ct badly
poisoned with COCO" that nothing
can be raised on them. Within
the past few years we have noticed
the varied success of several par
ties in the cultivation of coco lands,
and give it as our firm conviction
that success in the cultivation of
such lands is assured VIXEN an in
telligent and industrious man has
the management of the crop Two
cases in particular we will mention,
namely, Col. E. G. Randolph and
Mr.. ]. O. Grayson, both of whom
made good crops of corn and cotton
last year ON land on which COCO
grew as thick ~ the hair ON q dogs

the latter had COCO to contend with
ON an area of about twenty acres.
